The original trailer wasn't running in real-time and never will. I'd put it, just comparing the graphics, between Watch Dogs and inFAMOUS: SS, leaning more to the former.

2015 release date was expected.

Target Specs

 

[Super Rookie]

Visuals look amazing. This looks to me like it'll be Uncharted-esque, crossed with time manipulation gameplay from Blinx or whatever.

Man I loved those games!

Spoiler

Probably the only one!

So looking forward to this, I'm sure the people that brought bullet time with Max Payne have some crazy ideas with time manipulation in this.

 

[Wishmaster92]

the truck Jack time freezes

is the same as this one

good catch

 

[teraMEL0S]

This is the game I'm most excited about. It's hard enough waiting for E3, but now we have to wait for August. I still love you, Remedy.

 

[LukasTaves]

Very stylish looking.
Can't wait to see more.

I adore the time freeze effect.

More games should have something like that.

That gif is hypnotizing XD

Game isn't looking too hot from a technical perspective but I'm intrigued about the gameplay and the animation looks really smooth.

Really? The poly counts seems off the charts for main characters, npcs and environments. Volumetric lights everywhere, great glimpses of physics and huge vistas that doesn't look like it's a simple background... I'd say other than The Division I haven't seen a game with more dense environments so far.

 

[cyberheater]

Holy shit, you're right. That goddamn chromatic aberration. It needs to stop.

Nope. Looked great in ZombiU.

Can you post some examples of these "huge vistas" and "dense environments"? :S

 

[Super Rookie]

Graphics look awesome and the gameplay looks badass, it really gives off a next-gen vibe. My worry is the story.

I think with Remedy that is the one thing you don't have to worry about.

 

[Final Verdict]

I seriously have no clue what this game is trying to be, or what category to put it under.

Its a Remedy Game

 

[Gbraga]

Holy shit, you're right. That goddamn chromatic aberration. It needs to stop.

I think it only comes up during time stop moments. It's probably being used to indicate time distortion.

Or at least I hope so, it looks terrible.

 

[Wishmaster92]

Aside from increased aa and af? I don't see much difference from the target specs

 

[sickvisionz]

Ehh, I've been Alan Waked again. Talks of something really interesting but game play ends up just being a shooter.

 

[gaming_noob]

This makes me want to play Alan Wake again.

 

[Steverulez]

Ehh, I've been Alan Waked again. Talks of something really interesting but game play ends up just being a shooter.

Remedy have a bullet in their logo, and this was always known to be a third person shooter, what were you expecting?

 

[Pound_lb003]

Nope. Looked great in ZombiU.

Agreed. As per usual, and with bloom and 'piss filter' last generation, any of those used well is really awesome and effective. Also, people wanting it to be a showpiece, firstly give it some time, and secondly it looks really really good. Stop expecting that 'in-engine' trailer to be the standard. Cinematics cut out a lot of dodgy looking crap.

 

[Wishmaster92]

These are the shots that look better i would say, but the lighting is different so hopefully the gamescom trailer shows these segments again

The game looks really great but this top tier stuff is a statement with no backing. It will of course look better and better.

Alan Wake and Max Payne were never your standard shooter. Remedy is the absolute best at making standard gameplay something rally interesting.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

*snip*

New vid looks about the same as the VGX trailer to me. That trailer had a updated version of the scene from E3 in it.

 

[KainXVIII]

I think with Remedy that is the one thing you don't have to worry about.

Alan Wake has arguably not very good plot (or writing)

 

[jacksepticeye]

It's hard to compare cos it's a youtube video but so far these screenshots look more dense and detailed and much sharper. But the gameplay shown is very impressive

 

[Ran Ran]

Hopefully at Gamescom they show a gameplay demo.

This and The Order are my most hyped games right now.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

That was awesome.

I guess I will pick up my XB1 next year.

 

[LukasTaves]

Can you post some examples of these "huge vistas" and "dense environments"? :S

When Sam Lake is talking there are glimpses of city landscapes on the big screen behind him.

It looks like the same city that can be seen on the right of this screen:

Which also represents some of the dense environments, that hangar has lots of objects, and they all seem very well modelled.

And if this scene made up to the final game intact:

It also be a very good example

 

[jacksepticeye]

Nope. Looked great in ZombiU.

Chromatic Aberration never looks good

 

[SemiHollowCarrot]

Chromatic Aberration

This is that weird funky blurring effect that you got on old and degraded VHS cassettes right?

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

These are the shots that look better i would say, but the lighting is different so hopefully the gamescom trailer shows these segments again

These looks significantly better

 

[justsomeguy]

Delay sucks.

Looks amazing. I'm playing Alan Wake for the very first time at the moment and utterly hooked after just playing Part 1 so far.

 

[btags]

None announced but I think Remedy owns the IP so seems pretty possible.

I want to say microsoft owns the IP this time around, not remedy, but don't quote me on that.

 

[Exploratory]

Love that "Delay" in the thread title.

"Game with no release window announced gets a release window announced - DELAYED!"

Looks amazing. I'm playing Alan Wake for the very first time at the moment and utterly hooked after just playing Part 1 so far.

There was an Xbox Wire article posted that clearly states 2014. So it was delayed.

 

[Wishmaster92]

New vid looks about the same as the VGX trailer to me. That trailer had a updated version of the scene from E3 in it.

oh yeah i remember, along with a different camera angle iirc.

 

[MarkV]

Looks very interesting and the visual are also pretty good, i like it a lot.

 

[Doffen]

Looks really good, in my opinion. Really excited for Gamescom now!
2015 release date sort of sucks, but hopefully it will only make the game better.

 

[nib95]

When Sam Lake is talking there are glimpses of city landscapes on the big screen behind him.

It looks like the same city that can be seen on the right of this screen:

I don't know dude, to me that looks super confined. All the clips from the trailer do if I'm honest, but I wouldn't want to judge on the scope of the game till we've seen more.

Here's what I'm talking about from the trailer. Overall things look quite cramped and small arena like. Not seeing any huge vistas or dense environments.

 

[muzzymate]

After finishing Alan Wake a few years ago, this is one of my most anticipated next gen releases. Not at all surprised that it's "delayed" till 2015.

 

[francknara]

I don't understand why the gaming community is all about technical performance.


I think this video doesn't look really good . Yeah obviously art direction opinions are subjective but I don't see the problem with expressing different opinions. So just like The Order, I don't think it's good looking at all (from what we've seen obviously).


But that's not that important. Gameplay looks interesting. I enjoyed Alan Wake but the gameplay was meh, I'm surprised that is the main quality proved in this video. Can't wait for Gamescom.

If you don't think The Order looks good what DO you think looks good?

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Different camera and a new visual effect to show the link between Jack and the doctor

 

[btags]

Hahaha seriously??? Look at the lighting and shadow its glorious! The characters didn't even cast a shadow in ISS

Play the game before you try to insult it. Characters in ISS do cast shadows from sunlight, it is just certain light sources (such as headlights on cars I believe) that do not cast shadows. Quantum break looks great graphically and I am really excited for it because I loved the Max Payne series and Alan Wake, but that doesn't mean you have to shit on other games that are not on a Microsoft console.

 

[jacksepticeye]

This is that weird funky blurring effect that you got on old and degraded VHS cassettes right?

Basically yeah. you get a sort of reddish blueish blur almost like a red/blue 3D efect

Example:

 

[abadguy]

"Cinematic action game"

Between this and The Order, I become more and more depressed at how developers continue to proudly beat their chest at how their videogame is merely trying to emulate another medium.

While i am looking forward to QB , i can't help but agree with this sentiment.

 

[jbug617]

I really like the end when he was walking around the truck.

 

[CrazedArabMan]

Beth wilder and Paul Serene?

Oh Remedy, you bastards, don't play games with my heart.

For he did not know, that beyond the lake he called home,
There lied a deeper, and darker ocean green.
Where waves are both wilder and serene.
To its ports I've been,
To its ports I've been.

Don't you toy with my heart like that Remedy, don't you toy with my heart.

Spoiler

AW2 secret announcement please!

 

[justsomeguy]

There was an Xbox Wire article posted that clearly states 2014. So it was delayed.

Ahh so there is - goddam delays!

"one of 2014’s most anticipated blockbusters"

I suppose technically it's one of the most anticipated blockbusters in 2014... just as it will be in 2015? :_)

 

[Muppet of a Man]

While the game (especially the gameplay dynamic) looks really great, it actually looks like a video game that is doable on the X1 now (with really great graphics), as opposed to what they showed off initially last E3 (which was closer to CGI or "Target Specs", a.k.a., the Deep Down / Watchdogs effect).

 

[Exploratory]

"one of 2014’s most anticipated blockbusters"

If Batman gets delayed too I'm going to be a bit perturbed. FFS everything has been delayed this year. I'm almost considering forgoing a next gen console entirely.

 

[btags]

Protganist could not look any more generic or boring. But a good script and gameplay could salvage that.

I have to disagree, compared to most video game protagonists, this one looks quite unique.

 

[charsace]

The original trailer wasn't running in real-time and never will. I'd put it, just comparing the graphics, between Watch Dogs and inFAMOUS: SS, leaning more to the former.

2015 release date was expected.

There were articles about them playing that scene in real time on an X1 at E3 last year behind closed doors.

 

[Hydrargyrus]

Well... I was expecting something better. Graphically a little disappointing...

 

[Jarlaxle]

This looks great and I'm getting more and more excited for it. That said, "Jack Choice" is a terrible name.

 

[Muppet of a Man]

There were articles about them playing that scene in real time on an X1 at E3 last year behind closed doors.

I'd wager that "X1" here probably meant the dev kit, which is overpowered compared to the actual console itself (same deal for the PS4 dev kit). Either that or it was "playing" (a.k.a. chugging at that fidelity).
